"""
Extract per-frame audio visualization data from an audio or video file.

Outputs JSON with RMS amplitude and frequency band data at the target FPS,
ready to embed in a HyperFrames composition.

Usage:
    python extract-audio-data.py input.mp3 -o audio-data.json
    python extract-audio-data.py input.mp4 --fps 30 --bands 16 -o audio-data.json

Requirements:
    - Python 3.9+
    - ffmpeg (for decoding audio)
    - numpy (pip install numpy)

# A 4096-sample window gives ~10.8 Hz per bin at 44100Hz — enough to resolve
# low-frequency bands cleanly. The per-frame audio slice (44100/30 = 1470
# samples at 30fps) is too small and causes low bands to map to the same bins.
#
# Frequency range 30Hz–16kHz covers the useful range for music. Below 30Hz is
# sub-bass most speakers can't reproduce; above 16kHz is noise/harmonics that
# don't contribute to perceived rhythm or melody.
